Chapter Ninety-Seven: Pit Yuan Datou
Chapter Ninety-Seven: Pit Yuan Datou
For Britain alone, the United States is a traitor, a betrayer of the Motherland. As for the Americans, Britain is just an outdated decrepitude, although it still has some strength for the time being, but it will one day be left behind.
On the whole, however, the United States is now far inferior to the United Kingdom, especially in the area of overseas interests. In China, the United States is definitely a backward student, especially now that the war in Europe has not developed to the point where Britain wants to ask the United States for help, and Britain is even more disdainful of the United States.
Big Brother is temperamental and arrogant, and in the eyes of the British, no one dares to move the German soldiers in Qingdao as long as they hang their own flags. The British ambassadors were all controlled by the capitalists and businessmen, and in the face of huge interests, the project of claiming a quarter of China's national tax made the British compromise.
The Germans, who were already desperate, were ready to surrender, and they suddenly learned that the world was peaceful, and they could go home safely, without being prisoners or blackmailing Germany. The Germans were so excited that they fired their guns, which made Yang Shuai, who had just rushed to Qingdao Fortress with Delhi, scolded: "Lose your mother, there are too many bullets, give it to me." β
At the same time, John, who was heading north from the south, had received carte blanche from the British ambassador to mediate the conflict between Germany and Japan. John had several meetings with Yang Shuai, especially when John knew that Yang Shuai was the shareholder behind the Pudong Group, and he was even more enthusiastic about Yang Shuai.
"Dear Yang, you will always be my friend, a friend of the British Empire."
Delhi in the distance was not so friendly to John at this time, and it was known that they were now belligerents. Delhi: "Jan is a friend of our German nation, Mr. Johann don't talk nonsense. β
As a businessman, John smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Yang is our mutual friend, hahaha." Yang, for this Qingdao matter, on behalf of the British Empire, I have a doubt, Yang, I heard that the port of the Southern Triangle Bay is also an industry in your personal name. I need to be concerned about this existence, which may threaten the interests of the British Empire in the Southwest. β
When Yang Shuai heard this, he smiled and said: "Mr. John, think about it, can I threaten you, if so, if I am hostile to you, can I let Mr. Zhu Baosan negotiate with you and let the British take charge of the construction of the port, instead of the Americans, the Japanese." You know, these two countries have always wanted to rush into southwest China. β
John listened: "Hmph, it's just two clowns, but Yang, you have a point, I hope we will always cooperate in the future, not enemies." Let's go to the Japanese first. β
"Nani? The Chinese government cannot negotiate with the Germans alone, this must be handled by the Japanese Empire-" Kamio was the military commander this time, and his first reaction when he saw John and Delhi and others was to yell. According to Kamio's original intention, if he hadn't seen the British banner just now, he would have ordered the cannon to be fired. Not to mention asking him not to attack Qingdao for two days, to let the Germans leave, and then saying that Qingdao is now Chinese.
Kamio yelled: "You are betraying the Entente, Germany is our enemy, enemy, the Japanese Empire is your friend, ally, we are allies." β
The war in Europe has slowly continued into a contest between the two major blocs of the Allied Powers led by Germany and the Entente led by Britain and France, so Kamio has this saying. In the eyes of the Japanese, attacking Qingdao showed that they were standing behind Britain and France, and second, they were afraid that Qingdao was their focus. As for sending troops to Europe, I didn't think about it.
The god tail roared, Yang Shuai didn't make a sound, and the Germans didn't make a sound, they knew that John was the firepower point today.
I saw that John also said angrily: "Please remember that today is a commercial event, a commercial event between the Germans and Mr. Yang, and I, as a witness, will ensure the smooth progress of the transaction, Mr. Kamio, if you have any opinions, you can raise them with the embassy, that is your business." In short, in two days here, the flag of the British Empire will be hoisted, are you going to attack? β
John was a great Englishman, how could he tolerate a little monkey yelling at him.
A stone stirs up a thousand layers of Lang. This short meeting under the city of Qingdao instantly shocked the well-informed people from all walks of life.
"Buy Qingdao?"
"Yang Shuai again?"
"This kid is rich?"
"What is he going to do?"
In the face of the surging questions, Yang Shuai negotiated much more at this time, because he had already laid out the next move, only to see Yang Shuai find John first: "Mr. John, you know that I can't keep Qingdao, I just want something, you should understand, I am also a businessman." Now there are still a number of my ships in Lianyungang, and I hope that Mr. John will be able to ensure that they will enter Jiaozhou Bay and not be attacked by the Japanese army. β
John had long known Yang Shuai's attention, this was a three-party exchange of interests, the British got the big project, the Germans had to go home if they got face, and Yang Shuai got weapons and equipment.
So John: "Okay, as long as you hang the Union Jack, but Yang, when you go back to the south, you can't hang it again." β
When the goal was achieved, Yang Shuai hurriedly turned around and went to Delhi, how many things could he move in two days.
Delhi was discussing things with the German brigadier general, and Yang Shuai saw that it was just right to save a trip.
"Dear Yang, my son Teddy, has said more than once that you are a lone wolf in business, bold, and this time, I have seen it. Here, this is the German brigadier general, and he will explain to you what you can get this time. We hate the Japanese, so we'd rather give you something than leave it to the hateful Japanese. β
When Yang Shuai heard this, it was just right, and he laughed happily. Humble as a child, listening to the words of the brigadier general. The more he listened, the more excited Yang Shuai became.
After the last, Yang Shuai couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Mr. Ambassador, Brigadier General, I have decided to give each of you 100,000 yuan to show my friendship to you." β
Earned, earned, three million to make a project for the British, and then symbolically gave Germany one million (although the Germans later boasted that Yang Shuai used 10 million to redeem Qingdao), that is to say, from beginning to end, Yang Shuai paid a price of four million. But now, he will get six Krupp shore guns, 2,000 sets of German equipment, and more than 30 off-road guns, all of which are 75 mm in caliber.
Not to mention the bullet production line that Yang Shuai drooled about, the total value is definitely more than six million, not to mention that there are other bits and pieces.
Yang Shuai was excited, excited, if all these things could return to Triangle Bay, within a year, Yang Shuai would be able to face the Rongting of the old mainland of Guangxi without being inferior at all.
Just imagine who can have thirty large-caliber cannons, who has the same equipment as the German special forces, all at once there are two thousand sets, and there is a steady stream of bullets.
"Moveβmove for meβmobilize the people of Qingdao and tell them that they will be paid fifty yuan a day, and they will move for me."
Roaring, yelling with excitement everywhere, roaring with excitement.
Shenwei, that is, in the city of ink.
"Baga, Baga, think of a way, you guys, can't think of it, all of them are not allowed to go, Baga, Baga." The general, who was still in high spirits a day ago, is already angry and devastated at this time, and has no image.
At this moment, a staff officer rushed in like a lost soul, still holding a newspaper in his hand: "General, general." β
Shenwei was furious: "Baga, what kind of system." β
The staff officer raised the newspaper: "General, it's not good, the newspaper claims that Yang Shuai bought Qingdao, and now, Yang Shuai has published a newspaper to order the world to hand over Qingdao to the Chinese government." β
"Nani?" The key to the Japanese occupation of Qingdao is that Qingdao is now German, and has nothing to do with the Chinese government. Through Yang Shuai, a third party, the Chinese government can justifiably settle in Qingdao, but what about Japan?
"Yaga, the hateful Shina, the hateful British, the hateful Germans. Come on, Big Bear, order you to attack, attack. β
A fat general stood up: "Yes, general, I will attack Qingdao immediately." β
Kamio was furious: "Yaga, who asked you to attack Qingdao, there is the flag of the United Kingdom, and now the empire can't turn its face with the British, sooner or later, sooner or later, but not now." Attacking Jiaoji Road, attacking Gaomi, you can't let Chinese soldiers come to Qingdao, absolutely not. β
Yes, this is how Yang Shuai deliberately disgusted Yuan Datou. Didn't you get close to the Japanese, well, now I let the whole world know that I bought Qingdao and handed it over to the government. If the Japanese still come to Qingdao, it will be you Yuan Datou who betrayed the country, and you Yuan Datou who sold Qingdao. And I will be a patriotic hero, because I want Qingdao back.
Newspapers in Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong, China, and foreigners, regardless of their position or nationality, all published Yang Shuai's statement at the same time, in a word, handing over Qingdao to the government, which is an inseparable part of China.
When the whole country was boiling, Yang Shuai at this time was stepping on the last steamer to leave the Jiaozhou Bay wharf, the freighter of the Huangpu River Transportation Company flying the British flag. The sunset just shone on Yang Shuai, with a seductive smile on his face, he looked at Qingdao and said, "Let's go." β
